Immaculate hostel in the middle of Byron
We stayed here in January 2024. The check in process was seamless, in addition very helpful and friendly staff. The hostel is immaculately clean and modern. The staff go above and beyond to assist with any inquires or needs. The bed was extremely comfortable and noise levels were very minimal. Location is right in the heart of Byron Bay township. I highly recommend this hostel and will be a returning guest.

Best hostel in Byron Bay
Amazing spacious clean hostel with very convenient location to main beach and town. Spacious clean kitchen with lockers and boiled hot water and filtered cold water handy in the kitchen. Beach towel and surfboard provided for free. This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed and I would definitely come back again.

Probably the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in globally. Private room was great - comfortable bed, good ensuite, air con. Hostel facilities also great - huge kitchen which was always clean, big social area on the roof with activities so easy to meet others. Super convenient location walking distance to everything. Staff friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

This is our second time staying here and we still love the ease and fuss free for environment here. There just a level of fun that comes with staying here that makes Byron Bay that much more appealing. I always feel younger staying here lol. Love it. Will always stay here every time we visit Byron Bay.

This property it’s in the heart of Byron so close to everything. Beach is only 5 minutes walk, lots of cafes, restaurants and shops. Only downside is noise till late at night and council trucks very noisy at 5 am. For us was okay as it was first time in Byron for two nights only and we wanted to explore the area.

There was nothing i did not like about the property as it had very good energy. I felt like i was somewhere else when i walked into the Surf House. It had a terrific beachy flavour to it which works for me as it was very relaxing.

Udemærket, men heller ikke mere
Gode værelser, senge mm. Dog var der konstant sand på gulvet da dette kun blev fejet og ikke støvsuget eller vasket. Der manglede hver dag toiletpapir på badeværelset. Der var derudover meget få toiletter og bade til den mængde personer. Gode fælles rum og dejlig stort og rent køkken. Overordnet set et godt hostel, men med mangler hist og her, som godt kunne ændres.
